CNS-SUMMIT 2017

Oryzon Genomics (ISIN Code: ES0167733015) (MAD: ORY), a public clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company leveraging epigenetics to develop therapies in diseases with strong unmet medical need, announced today that it will participate this month of November in three specialized conferences in the CNS domain: the 10th Clinical Trials on Alzheimer's Disease (CTAD-2017), the SfN's 47th annual meeting (Neuroscience 2017) and the CNS-Summit 2017.

The 10th Clinical Trials on Alzheimer's Disease (CTAD-2017) takes place in Boston on November 1-4. It is the specialized conference in clinical trials in Alzheimer's disease and congregates the Medical Directors of the Pharmaceutical Industry as well as KOLs and scientific specialists of this indication. Dr. Roger Bullock, Oryzon's Chief Medical Officer, will give an oral presentation entitled "ORY-2001 Rationale in Mild to Moderate Alzheimer's Disease" on Saturday Nov 4 at 08.30 am at the Grand ballroom of the Boston Park Hotel. The company received this week the approval from the Spanish Drug Agency (AEMPS) to start a Phase IIA clinical trial of its epigenetic drug ORY-2001 in Multiple Sclerosis. The Company is finalizing the design of a second Phase IIA clinical trial with ORY-2001, this time in Alzheimer's disease. The CEO of the company will also attend the conference.

The Company will also participate at the SfN's 47th annual meeting (Neuroscience 2017), the world largest conference in Neuroscience. This year the conference is held in Washington DC on November 11-15. Oryzon's scientists, accompanied by Dr. Bullock, will present a poster reporting new preclinical data on ORY-2001 on November 13. Due to the embargo policy of the Conference, the company will issue a specific press release on November 13 to inform investors and general public about the new data obtained with ORY-2001 and their relevance within the clinical development plan for this drug in Alzheimer's disease.

Finally, Dr. Roger Bullock will also attend the CNS-Summit in Boca Raton, Florida on November 16-19, where he will participate as panelist in one of the sessions.
